Capsule Wardrobe Checklist

What it is for

A list-format guide to building a capsule wardrobe, a small set of pieces that go together and cover your routine. It helps cut excess, makes choosing the day’s outfit easier and encourages more deliberate shopping.

How it works

The list starts with defining your routine and color palette, moves through core pieces and layers, and ends with wardrobe upkeep. You tick each item as you go and follow progress on the bar. Your ticks are saved in the browser’s local storage, with no sign-up or data sent, and can be cleared to start over next season.

Worked example

Someone who works in an office and exercises on weekends picks three neutral colors and one accent, sets aside two trousers, five mix-and-match tops and one tailored piece, and tests five full outfits before buying anything new, ticking each step.

Limits and caveats

The quantities are general suggestions, not rules: the right number of pieces depends on climate, job and personal style. The list does not suggest brands or prices. Before donating or selling pieces, make sure you will not need them for specific occasions.

Frequently asked questions

How many pieces does a capsule wardrobe have?

There is no fixed number. Many references mention something between 25 and 40 pieces per season, not counting underwear and workout clothes. What matters is that most pieces go together and are worn often in your daily life.

Is my wardrobe progress kept?

Yes, only in your browser and on your device, and nothing goes to a server. If you clear the site data or open it on another device, the progress will not show. The clear button lets you restart the list each new season.

Do I have to throw away what does not make the selection?

No. The list suggests donating or selling, but you can keep the pieces in a box for a few months and only let go of what you did not miss. That reduces regret and makes clear what truly belongs to your style.
